Features: This book is written in accordance with the teaching syllabus requirements of the civil engineering major, emphasizing fundamental concepts, principles, and methods, while also expanding the scope of civil engineering professional knowledge. Based on long-term teaching and engineering design experience, it is compiled in accordance with the newly promulgated National Code for Design of Building Foundation and Foundation Engineering (GB 50007—2002) and other updated design codes. The book primarily introduces engineering geological conditions and engineering geological surveys in civil engineering. It also focuses on the design calculation principles and methods of various types of foundation engineering, such as shallow foundations on natural ground and foundation structure analysis, raft foundations and box foundations, pile foundations, caisson foundations and pier foundations, diaphragm walls, foundations for dynamic machinery, and foundation engineering in seismic areas. Additionally, it covers the principles and methods of ground improvement and foundation excavation and support engineering. With its broad coverage, the book is suitable for the foundational engineering teaching requirements of undergraduate and junior college students in civil engineering and related fields across different regions, categories, and levels. In addition to serving as a textbook for civil engineering majors, it can also be used as a mandatory reading for candidates preparing to take postgraduate entrance exams in civil engineering or related fields. Furthermore, it serves as a reference for surveyors, designers, and construction technicians in civil engineering.
